Repetitions and Markup Tags

Recognizing segment repetitions is important for accurately determining the effort needed for translating a document. WorldServer recognizes that some types of markup tags affect whether or not a segment is a genuine repetitions of another.

Markup tags of the same type (standalone, opening, closing) appearing at the same location in the segment are treated as interchangeable and considered equivalent in the repetition analysis. Equivalency is determined based on tag types and locations, but not the content of the placeholder.

These two tags would be considered repetitions:

This is a <b>simple sentence<\b> with tags.
This is a <i>simple sentence<\i> with tags.

But not these:

This is a <b>simple sentence<\b> with tags.
This is a <b>simple<\b> sentence with tags.

Or these:

This is a <b>simple sentence<\b> with tags.
This is a <br>simple sentence<br> with tags.
